COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

About Me
Hi Julia, how are you?? I hope you are fine. I am Roman, from Bariloche, an Argentine city at Patagonian Andes. It is a tourist city and because of that I had the amazing opportunity to host several CS in my home. After finishing my PhD I decided to leave the country and travel for while. The idea is to think a little about what to do in my future and where to live. In my point of view one of the best ways to relax and open your mind is travelling. After traveling in lots of countries in Latin America, I chose to travel (for around two years) in East Europe, Middle East, Central Asia, Siberia, China and South East Asia. I always fell some attraction for this region for the rich history. If you want to host me, I could share Mate, talk about Argentina and Patagonia..
I have a Chinese number now:

Why I'd Like to Meet You
Hi Julia! (I do not like this new kind of request.. :P) How are you??
First, I liked a your profile. I decided to write you because you seem a good person and I would like to meet you and spend time with you Hong Kong. It is an interesting place in the world that I always wanted to visit!! :D
Apart from that, If you want I can teach you something about Argentina. Our culture and places.. Specially Patagonia, where I am from.. Perhaps I could teach you some Argentine words... What do you think?
I have been travelling for more than eigthteen months (1 year and 6 months!!). Since I arrived Europe, I have been in 30 Countries always by land or sea (without any plane!).. I have been in China for 6 weeks, now in Chengdu.. After here, I will go to Hunan province and then Hong Kong. I will arrive next Tuesday 10th (in ten days) and the idea is to stay there during the week. I need to ask for some visas and visit the city. I know that it is too much time, but I could move to other CSs too. Do you have place for hosting me during these days?
Have you ever host an Argentine CS?? I am travelling with Mate (IT IS NOT A FRIEND!. I am travelling alone! It is a bitter Argentine TEA).. so we can drink mate if you want.
It is possible to contact me in facebook too, my profile:

attention: spam dating mails and spam requests will be reported right away

No need to show off your travel experience before me. That's nothing to me. You are making a huge carbon footprint. You should be ashamed of yourself. The more you travel, the more damage is done on this planet. There's nothing to be proud of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Anyway, I found better person in China.

Teach, Learn, Share

a bunch of free riders try to take something and do not want to give. disguise themselves in the name of cultural exchange.

go back to your hole if you are looking for free yellow cab. hong kong is not a place for you to scam.

What I Can Share with Hosts

another one tries to educate me:

Zoinked
omg you are bitter but beautiful ... more photos.

Looking for a couch but only if you are "normal" - lol. Ask one of your friends to read your profile and give a critique! YOu comes off as a couchsurfing hater.

I have my own money, house etc. I don't couchsurf to be a sponge. In fact, I am happy to take you to the pub after I land.

Need someone at the airport to fetch me Feb. 6th. I land at 9:30 PM but typically the plane lands earlier. I am a bit worried that customs will take forever and I will be somewhat stranded.
